Dune Buggy

[mbarclay]

not sure if this is the right category for this thing

Anyone ever ride in one of these home made things?

This is my buddys dune buggy he just finished up and I thoughjt i would share. Its powered by a 4 cylinder 1600cc VW engine, it sounds pretty cool. And its road legal. Sold his sport bike and replaced it with this summer toy.

I've wanted to build one since I was 11. An air-cooled Volkswagen gasser would be nearly an obvious choice, but I also consider other engine options, including some light diesels...

Those are a blast. Never owned one but I've driven a few down on Padre Island.

Great fun!

My dad has one! All custom, not quite as fancy as that but same idea, damned if I had any pics.

That is awesome. I'm totally making one when I get the chance.

We built one back in like 1976 using an old VW Bug. We had a blast on that thing.
